Romance, music and a dash of history all prove to be the ingredients of the perfect romantic evening when you visit Gaslamp Quarter. Aside from being an obviously hip, lively collection of restaurants, clubs and bars that are part of the district's top-drawer nightlife, it's also a great vantage point to do some fun people-watching.

If the two of you want to take a romantic trip but your busy schedules make it difficult to get away, you can still travel and maybe even learn something about San Diego in the process when you take an Old Town Trolley Tour.

The Junipero Serra Museum was named for the founder of the California Missions and is located in Presidio Park. The attraction is dedicated to preserving the state's heritage, and offers a historical perspective of San Diego that is not normally featured in museums or other arenas.

A good cigar is actually fairly hard to come by, but the expert cigar makers at the Gran Havana Cigar Factory work hard to make world-class cigars available in their award winning shop. The cigars are created by Cuban cigar master rollers and they use techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, creating a tradition of excellence. At the Gran Havana Cigar Factory, making the perfect cigar isn't a job, it is an art.
